The dragon continued talking to Ruth, while Carl listened, in the interstices of his chatter to Olive: "I hope you haven't been giving all your time and beauty-sleep doing too much of that settlement work, Ruthie and Heaven only knows what germs you will get there of course I should be the first to praise any work for the poor, ungrateful and shiftless though they are what with my committees and the Truegate Temperance Home for Young Working Girls it's all very well to be sympathetic with them, but when it comes to a settlement-house, and Heaven knows I have given them all the counsel and suggestions I could, though some of the professional settlement workers are as pert as they can be, and I really do believe some of them think they are trying to end poverty entirely, just as though the Lord would have sent poverty into the world if He didn't have a very good reason for it you will remember the Bible says, 'The poor you always have with you, and as Florence Barclay says in her novels, which may seem a little sentimental, but they are of such a good moral effect, you can't supersede the Scriptures even in the most charming social circles.
I replied that his loss of beauty-sleep was rather improving to a man of so high complexion; and that I, being none of the quality, must pay half-quality prices: and so I gave him double fee, as became a good farmer; and he was glad to be quit of Kickums; as I saw by the turn of his eye, while going out at the archway.
"Thee'rt lookin' like a thing hurried in mind." "I wants the loan of your horse and trap, missus," said Tummels. "Sakes alive, is that all? Why on the wide earth couldn't you ha' gone fore to stable an' fetched 'em, without spoilin' my beauty-sleep?" asked Bessie. "No, missus. To be honest with 'ee that's not nearly all." Tummels rubbed the back of his head.

As soon as the clock struck nine, Rosamond would seek her downy couch. Not for anything in the world would she have lost the few hours of beauty-sleep before midnight, so essential to young girl's good looks. But there must be no beauty-sleep for the tired young girl who plied her needle. "How dare you!" Rosamond cried. "What do you mean by loitering in this manner?"

Get your rest, men.
Cheek me again, and you'll get smacked. We must see that all you duckies go to bed at twelve for a little nap. You shall have a nice beauty-sleep, you shall!" "Don't answer! Swallow it down!" muttered Jack Brady, laying his hand on Simmons's shoulder. "Let 'em have the last word if they're stuck on it. We're only wasting breath." "It's all very well, Brady, but they have treated us abominably!
Another evening, Franz and Caroline found parting such sweet sorrow, that when he reached her outer door, he found it locked for the night.

"Susie," said mother faintly, "I must go to sleep too. Some other time we will talk it over, but not now." "But I can't sleep," said Susie, "unless I tell you first." "Come, Susie, try. I am sure it would be a great comfort to make excuses; but, just for once, choose the harder part, and say nothing. You and I, Susie, must get our beauty-sleep."
